The similarities are there-bald, white trash 'ideas men' from the East Coast who seem to enjoy fucking things up in public, for our entertainment and their detriment.
I hope he uses B&C to do a pile of weird micro brands. MJ's ideas don't follow a consistent narrative so having a way to do free-form branding could help get his ideas out while avoiding being stifled by staying within a single brand's design /messaging standards.

social media gave MJ a platform to really expose himself and who he really is off his board which should have been kept behind the curtain. There are a lot of pros that suffer from this social media thing. Koston and Berra and the Nazi immediately come to mind.

when a pro you grew up admiring turns out to be a dick on instagram it's like the same feeling as when you find out an old girlfriend you still care for cheated on you with luke from the soccer team.
you kind of guessed it at the time and just tried to ignore it even though it's been in the back of your mind, souring the whole situation for you. now years later you're confronted with it as plain simple fact.
you're a grown man and it shouldn't matter to you anymore but you still can't shake it and move on.
All you need for a business or company nowadays is like a small 3 man team, maybe 4, it shouldn't be difficult to do. But will it payoff? If the videos are good it probably will.
"BUSINESS & COMPANY" sounds like the first coffee shop that opens up and gentrifies a neighborhood. Or a 13-year old's idea of a sophisticated and mysterious brand name.

Yeah this would be a great idea if someone did it right. To be honest I was kinda hoping that's what Mother/Quasi was gonna do. Just change their name once a year. No way MJ could execute this idea well though. He'd just make twenty shitty companies that all had stupid names and were way less clever than he thought they would be.
I thought the idea behind Numbers was that there are no ideas behind Numbers.

Had he not become so weird and waxing faux poetic and let his drinking in check I think you’re right, but he didn’t help the situation over the years. Honestly dude needs a reality check. It’s not like he’s produced an ounce of footage in the two years on adidas.

Marc Johnson is becoming the new Kris Markovich
Come on now though, a million? 1,000,000 pairs of shoes. I love Lakai, but a million pairs just sounds silly.no it doesn't. lakai probably sold millions of shoes alone by the time fully flared dropped, by then the company was around for about ten years and they were fairly successful until the big corpo shoe takeover that happened right after fully flared dropped and several riders left for vans, cons, etc. they are low key now but from inception to ca 2008 until their shoes got super shitty because they switched factories and all their shoes were trash, it took a few seasons until the quality bounced back up but some would say that that's where the crailtap downfall started, along with sponsoring a little antihero fanclub that would only in name skate for crailtap.
Has Marc Johnson helped Lakai sell one million pairs of shoes? Most probably not.What do you think about his Emerica shoes? I feel as if those were everywhere.
Okay guys if we're gonna really try and figure this out, we need to be all mathematical about this shit! Hurling insults will get us nowhere!
Lakai started in 1999. In order to sell 1,000,000 pairs of shoes they would have had to average 52,631.5789 pairs of shoes per year. (Technically more than that because they weren't operating for the entire calendar year of 1999, but since we don't know what month they hit skate shops let's just count 1999 as an entire year.) 52,631.5789 pairs of shoes on average globally does seem realistic, yes?
However, the original statement in contention is that Marc "helped sell millions of pairs of shoes". So we can't take into account the years that Marc didn't ride for Lakai. Marc joined Lakai when? 2003? So assuming that his very presence on the team in some way helped sell every single shoe Lakai sold from that point forward, 1,000,000 shoes over the course of 13 years when MJ left for Adidas in 2016 would average to 79,923.0769 pairs of shoes sold per year. That number seems a little high to me.
In addition these numbers are based on broad generalizations as to how you define "helped sell".
In summation:
Has Lakai sold one million pairs of shoes? Maybe.

I just googled how many pairs of Nike’s are sold a year, and on the inter webs it said 25 per second in 2016. This would equate to 2.16 million pairs per day, and 788.4 million per year. That would mean a million shoes is roughly .13% of what Nike sells yearly, and therefore I find it impossible for Lakai not to have sold a million pairs over 20 damn years roughly.
about 6000 shops internationally per yearIF each shop averages about 40 pairs per drop. However, there are about 700 Zumiez. Then, you have Tilly’s, West Whateverthefuck in Canada, etc. On top of that, Zappos.com, online shops, and shops with online stores order hundreds and thousands at a time.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteOkay guys if we're gonna really try and figure this out, we need to be all mathematical about this shit!

We’ll consider that a shop probably orders a full size run. So a single shop might buy a few styles, size 7-13 so that’s what, 11 shoes per order? Someone do some maths on that shit. Say each shop orders 4 shoes in a full size run. How many does that take to reach a million?
Even State sells at least a million pairs per year.
wait, is he talking about skateboarding or his relevancy?His relevancy obvs
social media gave MJ a platform to really expose himself and who he really is off his board which should have been kept behind the curtain. There are a lot of pros that suffer from this social media thing. Koston and Berra and the Nazi immediately come to mind.Can't believe anyone puts MJ in the same category as Steve Berra and a Nazi.
did this guy really call him silly for believing that they sold a million shoes? are you regular? they sold welll above that. do you know how many people are on planet earth? do you know anything about life? are you 10 years old?

I was always surprised that Marc wasn’t one of the dudes to quit his major board sponsor and start his own brand in that 2013-2014 period. With his instagram posts and interviews about how stagnant the industry had become and was at the time. Had he been doing his own thing alongside FA, 3D, Mother/Quasi he could’ve been just as successful. The new Mayhew post has me thinking it may not last, but I’m hopeful.

He did the the back 40, and it sucked. It was basically corny videos like that “on your Marc” adidas video. That also didn’t last.
That addidas comedy video he did is actually pretty good in hindsight
He’s certainly not the first skateboarder to think his superior athleticism suggests an above average intellect. It’s laughable with the jereme Rodgers of the world but it’s sad with the pops and Marcs.

Exactly. I'm really surprised and irritated at the amount of people in these comments that aren't really digging these. This screams Marc Johnson. All the early enjoi adverts from the early 00s were all him and you can just sense the seething passive aggressiveness in the work. I think the earlier teasers were more of a deviation from his prior work and thought process. Maybe more of a deeper dive into his psyche but the Barbie mock ups are classic MJ. They might seem a little bit of low hanging fruit for his creativity and potential but they're nowhere near as bad as people are making them seem.

I very much like short wheelbases so I think that’s why these have my interest
these short ass wheelbases are killing me. i know for certain i prefer longer boards with wider bases as i am a tall bitch, so im worried it'll be a shitty fit, still wanna support though. what to do.Shorter wheelbases just means you can kick out further and easier, it's only really a problem on tranny.

I'm 6'1" and only fuck with short wheelbases, pretty much exclusively 14". They're super snappy/quick and don't feel like I'm fighting the board to turn or get off the ground. I truly don't understand how some people don't care about wheelbase, it's pretty much the only thing that matters (that and concave being too steep).

happy to hear all this well base talk, even happier to know there's a bunch of people 6' and above that fuck with 14" wheel base.
I'm 6'2 and my favorite board is 8.25x32 with a 14" WB
it's actually crazy how much it fucks with my skating when I change the wb and tail length. like the difernce between being able to kickflip or not. On 14 I feel like I have a pretty decent kickflip, anything else and it just falls apart. Get's all rocket and is unpredictable.
I'd like to hear more from professor Schmitt on the tail length/flat behind the bolts shit.
I’m an MJ fan but I think these graphics are absolute garbage. It’s like Kmarts version of FA. It’s weird too cause all those early enjoi graphics he did? were good, in terms of graphic design. These seem so bad compared to that, along with the horrible promo. And every little video looks like it was done on windows movie maker with that terrible font. Shapes look good though but the aesthetic is so corny to me

Looks like the shape on the fluoro bunny would be good, but the description has a different length than the drop down menu. I would sure hate to spend 60 bucks to expect a board to be 31.75 and have it be 31.3Idk, it reads like they're trying to cover their asses for shipping delays and they've talk to a lawyer.

Marc dropped off boards to my local last month, heard the shopkeeper talking bout it with some dude. Apparently Marc can only focus on one thing at a time. If you talk to him while he's texting, he'll just ignore you until he's done and go "what?" I'm paraphrasing but it was something like that.

Jerry should send MJ some boards on the condition that he actually puts out some footage and Sci-Fi Fantasy should put out a short edit of Jerry, MJ, and Arin. Of course if MJ's on Jerry would need to quit shortly thereafter to turn the tables on MJ for all the times he left after Jerry got on (Maple, Enjoi, Choc, etc.)

That's great to hear, I figured as much, I'd love to try one if they make it to Oz - Marc has been doing this so long and has a long history of working on shapes from way back A-Team days with Rodney - so it's rad to see Marc put his knowledge into the boards (and not just another pointless company printing graphics on generic BBS shapes, that we don't need).
Seems everyone is kinda overthinking the little dicks, seems fine to me. The "Fucking Offended" sticker is kinda meh but whatever (probably just a tongue in cheek dig at FA). I'd definitely rock an "I love little dicks" sticker though, that's some quality 90s humour. ;D ;D ;D

I honestly doubt anyone will respondProbably right, but present precedent seems to indicate there’s a decent chance that somebody will generate a shipping label for his reply.
If he has created labels, literally all he would have to do is drop several orders off a day at any fedex/kinkos facility on his way home or to wherever, or if he has an account he could call and schedule a pick up once a sufficient number of orders have been prepared. Looks like neither is happening
Also: if you have a proper Fedex account you are not charged until a FedEx agent literally scans your shipping label
